FEATURE: Add windows support to CLI

[HoldUpFjord]

In my mind we could either:
1.) add to the documentation to use Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) and the steps it takes to get that working
2.) Perform a native solution; use conditionals for Unix specific functions and logic.

I will take a look at this on my Windows machine tomorrow and add to the issue. Need to set up a dev environment @HoldUpFjord

[SchoolyB]

Got everything set up and ran the build.sh script....This should be a fun one😂 @HoldUpFjord want to take this one? Previously I had to manage certain variables differently based of Linux operating systems vs MacOS machines. I imagine the same would be done for Windows machine. You can find that documentation somewhere in here.

And an example of how I did it here

[HoldUpFjord]

Yeah I'll take it! Already drew down the repo and started installing Odin etc.

I will definitely be asking questions throughout. Thanks for the links man!

[HoldUpFjord]

I have been trying to get Clang installed for 2 days

[SchoolyB]

@HoldUpFjord Here are the directions to get Odin up and running on Windows :https://odin-lang.org/docs/install/#release-requirements--notes

They are a bit lacking so you can reference it with how I did it too

Steps I followed:

1. Download the Odin source code here: https://github.com/odin-lang/Odin/releases/tag/dev-2025-01

2. Download Visual Studio (Installed the specified package in the screenshot in the link i sent)

3.. Unzipped the files.

4. Added the odin to my PATH

The instructions they gave to install Odin on Windows are very lacking tbh but hopefully my steps helpes

[HoldUpFjord]

Ah I was trying to download Clang and LLVM without checking the odin docs directly.

[HoldUpFjord]

then install odin

[HoldUpFjord]

I've been on a whole journey going about it the way I did

Let me know If I can help in any way
